2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DA18 OPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with no defects recorded across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 140,475 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent and free of advisories or failures since first tested in 2022. The mileage pattern reveals unusually high accumulation for an eight-year-old vehicle. Recorded distances rose from 25,433 miles on 2 March 2022 to 33,375 miles by 8 April 2023, then jumped to 35,696 miles just under a month later on 3 May 2023. A far steeper climb followed: 81,559 miles at the 9 April 2024 test and 140,475 miles by April 2025. This equates to roughly 58,900 miles added in the final year, well above the approximate 17,559 annual average, indicating heavy motorway or commercial-style use rather than light private commuting. Given the absence of any flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or binding brake calipers, the DVSA record alone shows no recurring mechanical faults. The clean pass history suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing compliant, though no deeper service evidence sits within MOT data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of high-stress components given the 140,475-mile total. Priority areas include front coil springs, steering linkage, brake disc thickness, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion. The recent 58,900-mile surge warrants scrutiny of drivetrain condition, gearbox wear, and tyre or wiper consumable replacement cycles not captured by the MOT.
